“I pledge myself to the Rose Society until the end of my days, to use my eyes to see all that happens, my tongue to woo others to our side, my ears to hear every secret, my hands to crush my enemies. I will do everything in my power to destroy all who stand in my way.”

“And so it goes, day after day. Every sharp word and every angry, impure thought.

What harm could it do?”
― Abigail Haas, Dangerous Boys
